The annual trash pickup at Yosemite is being held September 25-30. It is sponsored by the Yosemite Climbing Assn. They can use warm bodies to help police the garbage left by visitors. Lots of water bottles and cameras at the base of Half Dome. But it takes experienced climbers to access them. You may be asked to pick up roadside trash.
